Connectivity issue
We have 4 satellites. 3 work perfectly and have a broad area they cover. The 4th is in the garage and loses connection. I have tried to move another satellite closer so it would basically daisy chain...

The obvious solution is to install an ethernet cable connecting the garage satellite to the nearest Orbi unit. This can be impractical or prohibitively expensive.
I found that placing Orbi units up high (closer to the ceiling than the floor) reduces the amount of material in the radio path between units and creates a stronger signal.
